Answer 1

The true statement is:

**Asexual reproduction is a simpler process than sexual reproduction.**

The other statements are incorrect for the following reasons:

- Sexual reproduction does not necessarily produce more offspring than asexual reproduction; often, asexual reproduction can lead to a higher number of offspring quickly since it involves only one parent.
- Asexual reproduction does not involve the fusion of gametes; that process is characteristic of sexual reproduction.
- Sexual reproduction typically requires two parents (involves two gametes), not just a single parent.
